        Several people have mentioned the "United States of America" album, but I also love the
 
followup "American Metaphysical Circus", credited to Joe Byrd & The Field Hippies (Byrd was synth
 
player, singer & composer for USA)...
 
 
        13th Floor Elevators
        White Noise
        Kaleidoscope (both bands, American and British)
        Nirvana
        Bubble Puppy (Texas Psych with top 25 hit "Hot Smoke and Sassafras")
        Gandalf
        early Deep Purple
       
        ...and don't forget Spirit (although calling them Psych is almost an insult; they're that & more!!)
 
        Fever Tree  (criminally underrated; first album is classic, second is also good)
 
        I got the Nuggets on 3 separate CD's years ago, then they released that box with extra stuff.
        Some folks don't like comp's, but there are so many psych bands that had just one hit or one  
        good song, like Balloon Farm ("A Question of Temperature").

Has anyone mentioned the band called Love?

I found it in the 60/Psych section of a second hand shop and I want to know something about this band, if anyone knows anything about them.

Completely forgot about that album...what a great album!Clap



Wonderful album. Da Capo from '66 is equally great, and really more psychedelic.
Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

Jefferson Airplane - Bless Its Pointed Little Head or Surrealistic Pillow

Grateful Dead - Live Dead (opens up with a really trippy Dark star > St. Stephen)

Vanilla Fudge is also kinda cool. They took pop songs and did these psychedelic remakes. Their version of "You Keep Me Hanging On" is fantastic.

Excellent choices, but the list cannot be complete without Group 1850:

Agemos%20Trip%20To%20Mother%20Earth%20%281968%29
Agemo's Trip To Mother Earth
(1968)

Clearly a parallel group to Pink Floyd, Agemo's Trip to Mother Earth is taken from the same cloth as Saucerful of Secrets. In retrospect, though, Group 1850's work is more creative which one may expect from a Continental band without any commercial restraints. Sure, there are some pure psych moments to be had - but just hearing the title track should put anyone in awe who can hear this is an historical perspective. There just flat out wasn't anything like this in 1968. The fuzz guitar, the trippy voices, the acid induced phased effects, and the drumming (oh - the drumming). It's a bona fide masterpiece in the field of psychedelic progressive music. (Tom Hayes, 2001, Gnosis)


Paradise%20Now%20%281969%29
Paradise Now
(1969)
 
Paradise Now is possibly even better. Now they've managed to lose the trendy psychedelic trappings for a truly creative work. There is a more pervasive ethnic element this time around with wind instruments and hand percussion. It's amazing how timeless this music is 30+ years later. Just brilliant.
